Chapter 389: Adding fuel to the fire

Regarding Qin Ze's begging and fighting, Cheng Huailiang could only raise the fist in his hand and put it down. Instead, he sighed and looked at Qin Ze and said, "I have figured out one thing. ”

When Cheng Huailiang said this, his expression was obviously a little gloomy, this is not like Cheng Huailiang's style. On weekdays, this guy is also smiling and open-minded, how could he suddenly be so deep.

His change naturally aroused Qin Ze's curiosity, and he also put down his work at the moment and looked at Cheng Huailiang and asked, "What do you understand?" ”

"I want to join this trip." Cheng Huailiang sat cross-legged beside Qin Ze and said in a very serious tone.

Cheng Huailiang, who had always wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy and establish military merits, would say such a thing, which really surprised Qin Ze.

"Why don't you think about building up military merits and achieving supreme achievements, how can you become so slack?"

There is nothing more mournful than the death of the heart, when Cheng Huailiang followed Qin Ze to Lingzhou, how high-spirited he should be.

On the battlefield, how happy it should be to scold Fang Xuan. I thought that with my performance, I would definitely be able to reuse. But now......

"It's a big deal to go to sea, and it's too risky to go to sea. There's absolutely no way I'm going to let you go to sea, and it's not just the East China Sea where I'm going to let them go this time. There are further afield, and no one can guarantee safety during this period. ”

Let's not mention the place in the Arctic, let's just say that those people who sent the Tang envoy must have been coveting the sea ships of the Tang Dynasty all along. Once out of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, who can guarantee that those envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty will not do anything out of the ordinary.

At that time, if something goes wrong with Cheng Huailiang, how will Qin Ze face Cheng Laoyou. He has already killed a close friend, how can he watch Cheng Huailiang fall into danger again.

"I heard Ye Ye say that this time I went to sea not only to hunt dragons, but also to find grain on the other side of the land that could yield twenty stones per mu. Isn't this an opportunity, rather than eating and waiting for death in Chang'an like this, it is better to go out and have a look. Cheng Huailiang just sat beside Qin Ze, and there was no trace of brilliance in his eyes when he spoke.

As the second son of the Cheng family, Cheng Huailiang did lose the opportunity to make contributions. The Cheng family let Cheng Chumo go to the battlefield, and they will no longer let Cheng Huailiang risk his life.

If Cheng Huailiang is a gentleman with no ambitions, the foundation of the Cheng family is enough for him to squander unscrupulously. But this guy is bent on making achievements, and under such entanglement, he has become what he is now.

Qin Ze suddenly found that he was the most ambitious gentleman in the entire Chang'an, from the beginning he just wanted to be a complete gentleman, but when Qin Ze achieved this goal, he suddenly found that he couldn't stop.

Cheng Huailiang's tone made Qin Ze feel very uncomfortable when he heard it.

Qin Ze sat cross-legged facing Cheng Huailiang, then stared into his eyes and asked solemnly, "Did you really decide to go to sea?" Even if there is a possibility that you will be buried at the bottom of the sea, do you want to go? ”

"Since childhood, Yaye has taught a certain horse archery martial arts. It was also when he was a child, he fantasized about one day being able to ride on a war horse, and then fight on the battlefield, and even fantasized about the day when he was shrouded in horse leather. But now there is a body of martial arts, but he can only stay in Chang'an. Instead of this, it is better not to learn what to shoot on horseback, and what is the use of learning the tactics of military formation? ”

When Cheng Huailiang said this, it was more like he was talking to himself.

Qin Ze knew what this guy had been stimulated by, since the Tang Sixth Route Army broke through the Turks. Datang's combat power has risen to an extremely high level, and its reputation with the outside world has also reached the extreme.

The people in the Ordnance Prison were even more frantically making gunpowder, and no matter how dangerous this thing was, they only knew that their Majesty could not wait to conquer the world.

After Qin Ze's efforts for nearly a year, there are now many people who can use gunpowder among the armies of all walks of life. In addition, all kinds of gunpowder bullets emerge in an endless stream, which also makes Datang's strength to a higher level.

For gunpowder, these people in the Ordnance Prison have a lot of energy. Now in the underground of the Datang Academy, the third generation of gunpowder has been developed.

Because of the purification of saltpeter and sulfur, the power of gunpowder has been directly increased by five times. And it is no longer as naked as before, these craftsmen of the Ordnance Department have hidden this lead, so that the safety performance has been greatly improved.

Qin Ze didn't know how many gunpowder workshops there were in the entire Chang'an, but he knew that in the workshop under his feet, the gunpowder produced every day was enough to blow up half of the Shengye Workshop.

At the same time, the prototype of the cannon has also been completely made, and now Qin Ze and the craftsmen are studying how to make rifling in it, so as to improve the accuracy of the shells.

These are only a matter of time, after all, the level of steelmaking in Datang has almost reached the peak of manual steelmaking, and all that is needed is practice.

Such a huge change also made Datang stand tall. Datang has always been like this, and it has always been extremely tough in the military.

Therefore, after defeating the Turks, Datang focused on Tuyuhun again. There are a large number of livestock on this land, which is a great temptation for Datang. In addition, in the second year of Zhenguan, Tuyuhun invaded Datang several times, which makes today's Datang how to endure it.

So Datang started a new round of preparations, but it didn't have anything to do with Cheng Huailiang. It was in this situation that he finally realized that he could no longer go to war, not because of his lack of ability, but because of his identity.

Seeing Cheng Huailiang like this, Qin Ze couldn't help but sigh, and then patted him on the shoulder and said: "I know what you think in your heart, to tell you the truth, this time Your Majesty agreed to go to sea, but it was not just to hunt Jiaolong, Your Majesty's real goal is to conquer the Japanese Kingdom." ”

"Wa Kingdom?" Cheng Huailiang was obviously a little surprised, looking at Qin Ze and not understanding what this meant.

When he heard that His Majesty insisted on going to sea to find the elixir, Cheng Huailiang was also a little disappointed. I thought that His Majesty had been bewitched by a demon, but now listening to the meaning of Qin Ze's words, it is obviously different from what he thought.

Li Er really wanted immortality, so he was very eager for the so-called Jiaolong Neidan. But when Qin Ze offered him a candle dragon eye, Li Er's throbbing heart finally calmed down.

And at this time, Li Er has regained the demeanor of a generation of saints, didn't the Wa Kingdom want to use this opportunity to murder the Tang Dynasty? Then why can't the Tang Dynasty take advantage of this opportunity to murder the Japanese state?

Now that these Tang envoys are leading the way, it is not easy for the Tang army to get close to the Japanese state. Since you have the courage to covet the Tang Dynasty, you must pay the price of destroying the country.

Since the death of the old emperor Tuigu in the second year of Zhenguan, there has been a dispute over the succession to the throne in the hall of the Wa Kingdom.

Now the two largest families in the Wa Kingdom, the Imperial Family and the Soga Family, are vying for the throne, so now is the time when the Wa Kingdom is at its weakest. If you really want to go to sea, I will recommend you to your majesty. ”

As far as Qin Ze knows, the current ruler of the Wa Kingdom should be the prince of Tamura, who was supported by Soga Ezo. And if it is according to the call, the one who should really govern should be the big brother king of the mountain.

So now in fact, the situation of the Wa Kingdom is not very good, Tamura sent the Tang envoy to the Tang Dynasty this time, hoping to learn the advanced technology of the Tang Dynasty, and then use it to suppress the royal forces behind the big brother king of Shanbei.

This is a good opportunity, adding fuel to the fire Qin Ze likes to do it the most. The Su family is now desperate, if it can't fully overwhelm the royal family this time, it will not be as simple as changing the ruler again.

Since the Su family wants to get the technology of the Tang Dynasty, the royal family must also want to get it. In this way, Datang is in the main position.

This is simply not too familiar to Qin Ze.

Qin Ze had already reached a consensus with Du Ruhui and them on this matter, and it was estimated that the Tang envoy was still complacent now, and he used a small piece of broken stone to firmly tie Li Er's heart. But I didn't know that a big net had slowly unfolded.

Cheng Huailiang was also stunned when he heard Qin Ze's words, but because of the art of war education he had received since he was a child, he still understood what Qin Ze meant in an instant. But then he frowned again and said: "Let's not talk about whether those Tang envoys will bring the Tang army into the Wa Kingdom, and besides, this time you can't bring a large number of troops at the same time, I'm afraid it's not easy to break through the Wa Kingdom." ”

"Naturally, you can't send too many people first, but we can choose to follow behind. At that time, there will be a team of men and horses pretending to be controlled by the Wa Kingdom, and then let them take them to the Wa Kingdom. You can wait for them to follow, and then I'm afraid you won't find them. Speaking of this, Qin Ze was also stunned, then looked at Cheng Huailiang and said, "It's just that in this way, your danger is very great." It is certainly impossible to storm without being familiar with the situation of the Japanese state. So if you decide that you really want to go to sea, I hope you can get in touch with someone from the royal family. ”

Naturally, all the envoys who came to Tang this time could not all be from the Su I family, there is no doubt about this. And during this time, Qin Ze had already thrown out the bait, just waiting for someone with ulterior motives to take the bait.

Attacking the Japanese State is not a trivial matter, even if Cheng Huailiang really wants to go, he will have to wait until the people of the Ordnance Supervisor will make the artillery.

This is the only thing that can keep them as safe as possible, and not only that, but also the ships of the sea should make it as soon as possible.

The construction of the culet was very troublesome, and it took the craftsmen who worked as supervisors a month to make a ship the size of a house.

For Qin Ze and them, this is just an enlarged version of the model. Of course, if this thing can really stand on the water, then they can make real sea boats.

On the day of the launch, the vicinity of Datang College was firmly fenced, and even Du Ruhui, who had just recovered physically, came here.

The ship weighed thousands of pounds, and hundreds of horses were used to transport it to the water's edge.

Dig a groove under the sea boat and let it slide towards the Jing River little by little, and everyone is staring intently, and their hearts are also extremely looking forward to it.
